García Márquez, Gabriel,--1927-2014--Cien años de soledad

Solipsism, the assertion that the self is the only reality and the only thing that can be known and verified, is less pessimistic than nihilism, the radical doctrine that nothing exists, is knowable, or can be communicated. All novels may be solipsistic in the sense that fictions have reality: the author, knowingly or not, is creating a "reality" that may be no less valid than what the author assumes to be his or her own experienced "real" life. In some cases, readers interpreting such novels as Sartre's La Nausee and Garcia Marquez's Cien anos de soledad may find their own solipsistic leanings interacting with those of the authors, and it may be through such interaction that these texts work. Hence, the solipsistic perspective presents an authorial paradox, since the expression of this or any other idea would be meaningless outside the closed circle of writer and text. In these two texts. this solipsistic paradox and the problematic role of the reader are, in great part, the subject.

Esta tesis es el estudio del amor en la novela Cien
anos de soledad del autor Gabriel Garcia Marquez, estudio
compuesto de los siguientes capltulos: I) El autor y su
obra; II) Incidencias de la realidad socioeconomica, III)
Particularidades del tropico y de las costas latinoamericanas;
IV) El erotismo a la luz del psicoanalisis; V) Influencia
surrealista; VI) Las multiples caras del amor, y
los personajes; VII) La soledad y el amor.
Siguiendo la biografia del escritor en el primer capltulo,
el segundo y tercero enfatizan los factores ambientales
que influencian el amor. El cuarto y quinto analizan
el amor de acuerdo con las teorias psicoanaliticas y la modalidad
literaria del surrealismo. El sexto y septimo complementan
el tema y conducen a La conclusion de que el despliegue
de erotismo que revela la obra, es--contrario a lo
que parece--un mensaje moralizador de su autor.
